50+ Beauties Do You Prefer Powder Or Cream Blush

It depends. I have some powder brushes that feel like cream (Laura Mercier & Trish McEvoy). Even Tarte's long lasting powder blush is wonderful. The ones that I mentioned all looks like creams on. Powder is not flying everywhere. I do like creams but do not currently own any. Since I am cutting down on costs of cosmetics, I will use up what I have first (hopefully). ha! I am 64.

OP - ITA! I am 61 and use both with great results!

I'm 56. I use both and don't find it makes a bit of difference. Most days it's powder because it's quick and easy.

Is the blush you are talking about a Sephora brand or another brand sold at Sephora. It sound very pretty and I would like to try. I went on the Sephora website and couldn't find it.

Cream

Powder for me. I tried a cream blush, but it vanished within a short time.

With my oily skin, every time I read an article that says I should toss my powder foundation and blush, I want to scream.

We are not all alike. I can see where someone with dry skin (regardless of age) would want a cream or gel blush. I would like all the so called experts to acknowledge that someone with oily skin, regardless of age, might actually look better with powder blush.

Sorry for the rant. You asked a good question, so please don't take offense at my rant.

A Bobbi Brown used a cream blush on me recently and while I liked the way it looked I bought powder blush. I think you have more control if you put too much or too little on, whereas with the cream you don't .
